Capitol Campaign Progress
Locker rooms in McMahon Gym are renovated!-Completed Fall 2024
Beginning summer 2024, the girls and boys locker rooms were completely renovated with modern updates as part of the renovation project!
We now have Air Conditioning in McMahon Gym!-Completed Fall 2023
This very needed brought air conditioning to McMahon gym and brought the necessary power from the Fine Arts Building to the gym which will be needed for the new Event Center!
We still need your help to build the Event Center!
Imagine a Seton Catholic Preparatory campus with its own sprawling Event Center! This facility will provide a place where
- students can gather for Mass;
- alumni can attend reunions and Hall of Fame honoree events;
- our Seton Catholic community can gather for parent and student activities, and
- our many athletic teams can practice without having to stay into the late hours on a school evening!
The new Seton Catholic Event Center will make this a reality. The Founded in Faith — Building on Excellence capital campaign focuses on the new building, as well as the renovation of our existing McMahon Gymnasium.
When the state-of-the-art Event Center debuts, it will include:
- two floors spanning more than 50,000 square feet,
- a spacious lobby,
- two concession areas and
- new rooms for weightlifting, film review and spin class.
Renovations to our existing McMahon Gymnasium include:
- expanded Cheer Room with higher ceilings to allow for stunts,
- expanded Wrestling room,
- upgraded Girls and Boys Locker Rooms, and most importantly
- AIR CONDITIONING which our students, parents and staff are already benefitting from.
The Event Center will also include a sound booth, a warming kitchen for catering prep and storage areas for tables, chairs and equipment for facility rentals. We envision this space to be where community members can come for corporate gatherings and other revenue-generating meetings.
